the image


Every one wants to look a certain way to the general public, to have a certain image. i think that the image that i want comes from the people i look up to or admire. its not just random. i see certain people touching peoples lives with their talent, personality, passion, and goals and i am inspired to immitate them. This can be good or it can be bad. if we spend our lives obsessing over an image that we would like to have, and how to fit into it, we wont become anything real; we'll be living a life of make-believe. but we've got to realize that we cannot compare ourselves with anyone, but we should be ourselves (not in the cliche sort of way). if the things that you admire about other people are truly in your heart, a part of you, it will come out in your words and actions....therefore creatitng an image...the perfect image for you. am i making sense?? i guess this has been on my mind lately because i am realizing that the way people see me is not always going to be the same. everyone comes from a different place (not like a different country, like a different state of mind), so, i am working on not getting flustered, and wondering whats wrong with me when someone doesnt see me the way i want them to.


Love Love Love

here's a challenge:
DJ & Sam.
They've got potential to be great people. You are willing to love the 'unlovable,' so love them. I know they're keepers.
